You know that Crocs are also $50 right?

Thanks for the feedback! The Teva camp shoes we linked to do have multiple purposes – good for river crossings, and they are the sandals I wear around town in warmer weather too. I certainly wouldn’t shell out 50 bucks exclusively for camp shoes either 😉 But, we’ll work on including more budget-friendly options in these gear lists in the future!

Absolutely agree! We carry two pairs of socks to hike in, and one pair to sleep in. Camp shoes are a must for us these days, too. I left them behind on our last backpacking trip to see if I could get away without them, and boy did I miss them at the end of the day!!

I’d only like to add one piece of advice: always have one more pair of socks than you calculated necessary.
Also, nowadays I also carry a pair of lightweight shoes to change into at the campsite. https://bagcottage.com

Camping in Ireland sounds like a dream. Summer will be here soon enough!

I completely agree with you about packing an extra pair of socks! I have never once thought to myself “I packed too many socks” 😉
